2 min read on the streets, 560 comments (and counting!) in the sheets.
Gosh this is hard to process. I’d love to partake in the popcorn here but it’s been seasoned with an obscure kind of seed oil.
Either way, thanks for the ‘tent.
the post, but especially the comments, are the slam-dunk unimpeachable killer argument for vibes-based moderation, under which Duncan, Said and Zack would all have long ago been escorted to the egress.
if your moderation rules don’t include “we may ban you if we feel it’s appropriate, and do please keep in mind that none of us were born yesterday” then they are an incomplete system.
(awful’s mod policy is approximately “come on now”, which doesn’t scale big but has worked so far)
So many words, so little achieved
So very many words.
I strongly predict that a decent chunk of the high-contributing users who LW has already lost would’ve been less likely to leave and would be more likely to return with marginal movement in that direction [deciding to do exactly what I wanted].
“I have to stress that the people who are not here to speak for themselves (top people, mind you) are right here with me. They’re just out of frame, agreeing with me.”
